Martha Stewart Calls Barbra Streisand’s Autobiography ‘Long and Boring,’ Igniting War of Words

Martha Stewart has launched a salvo at an equally feisty octogenarian, Barbra Streisand, igniting what sources believe will be a battle royal between two of showbiz’s most iron-willed stars!

Martha, 83, is said to have really riled the 82-year-old Broadway and screen legend when she suggested that Barbra’s 992-page autobiography was “long and boring.”

The flap started when the domestic diva was interviewing bombshell Pamela Anderson for Elle magazine and started gabbing about penning her life story.

“I’m writing an autobiography right now,” Martha told the Last Showgirl star. “Wait until you do that … Boy, I’m having fun. I’m not going to let anything not be said. I want to tell it all.”

The culinary mogul could have left it at that — but instead decided to take a swipe at the Funny Girl icon!

“It’s a huge challenge to do that and not be Barbra Streisand with 900 pages,” Martha continued. “I don’t want it to be long and boring.”

It may come as no surprise that the dig apparently didn’t sit well with Streisand.

“Barbra is taking it as a slap in the face and she’s furious,” blabs an insider. “After all, she wrote every word of her memoir, and it took 10 years to finish.”

The 2023 book, My Name Is Barbra, was a sensation, selling a whopping 3 million copies across the globe.

“Barbra doesn’t even think Martha is in the same league in terms of her fame and celebrity and that she has a lot of nerve to even compare the two of them,” huffs the insider. “Besides, Martha probably has a ghostwriter doing all the work!”

Martha has a history of shooting off her mouth. Over the years, she has dissed Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow and celebrity chefs Rachael Ray and Ina Garten. Most recently, she blasted filmmaker R.J. Cutler, who directed Martha, the Netflix biopic about her.

“Martha may get away with being nasty to other stars, but she’s treading on shaky ground with Babs,” warns the insider. “Barbra has already alerted all her Hollywood friends that they can’t be pals with her AND mouthy Martha.

“They’ll have to choose, and if they make the right decision — that is, they choose her over Martha — they’ll have to ignore Martha when she comes to L.A. to promote her book.

“If they go against Barbra’s wishes, they will feel her wrath and, believe me, no one wants that!”
